[Verse 1]
When you lead a project team, be the steward they can trust
Diligent and caring, respectful is a must
Build collaboration where everyone can shine
Create that safe environment where all voices align
[Chorus]
Twelve principles to guide your way
S-C-E-F-R-D makes the day
Steward, Collaborate, Engage with care
Focus value, Recognize what's there
Demonstrate leadership in everything you do
Tailor, Quality, Navigate it through
Optimize the risks, Embrace the change
Enable future vision, nothing stays the same
[Verse 2]
Engage your stakeholders, keep them in the loop
Understand their needs and bring them to your group
Focus on the value, what matters most of all
Recognize the systems, how they rise and fall
[Chorus]
Twelve principles to guide your way
S-C-E-F-R-D makes the day
Steward, Collaborate, Engage with care
Focus value, Recognize what's there
Demonstrate leadership in everything you do
Tailor, Quality, Navigate it through
Optimize the risks, Embrace the change
Enable future vision, nothing stays the same
[Bridge]
When complexity surrounds you, navigate with skill
Build quality in processes, bend but never break your will
Tailor to your context, one size doesn't fit
Adaptability and resilience, that's the winning hit
[Verse 3]
Leadership behaviors, show them every day
Optimize risk responses, clear the path ahead
Enable transformation to that future state
Where change becomes the pathway to the goals we've set
[Chorus]
Twelve principles to guide your way
S-C-E-F-R-D makes the day
Steward, Collaborate, Engage with care
Focus value, Recognize what's there
Demonstrate leadership in everything you do
Tailor, Quality, Navigate it through
Optimize the risks, Embrace the change
Enable future vision, nothing stays the same
[Outro]
From steward to enabler, these principles ring true
Project management excellence starts and ends with you
